Meghan Markle, 43, has reached a major milestone on Instagram just weeks after launching her personal account – and it could have financial benefits for the Duchess of Sussex
Two months on since returning to Instagram, Meghan Markle has hit a dazzling social media landmark that might spell lucrative prospects in the days to come. The Duchess of Sussex, at the age of 43, made her Instagram comeback earlier this year, spotlighting her individual business projects such as the eagerly awaited Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” and her lifestyle label “As Ever”.
Since stepping back from Royal duties with Prince Harry in 2020, Meghan had kept a low profile on the ‘gram, but her flashy debut on New Year’s Day signalled a fresh commercial chapter. In a matter of weeks, the mother-of-two amassed a whopping fan base, and now boasts over 2 million followers on her handle @meghan, where she shares candid glimpses of her life and work.
It’s not all about popularity, however; as one royal expert suggests Meghan’s Instagram antics may soon roll into financial wins too. Despite her short tenure on the platform, Meghan is already charming Instagram anew, having scooped up two million followers on her personal account, especially worth noting since its grand opening around seven weeks ago.

Chatting with GB News, Richard Fitzwilliams commented: “Her Instagram’s got its own appeal and she could make quite a lot of money by monetising posts. The way she covered Invictus. You would expect that. It has been an enormous success so when you’ve got a success you ought to use it and, to be perfectly honest fair, she did.”
A look at Meghan’s feed reveals eight posts to date, including an endearing snap of her and Prince Harry sharing a Valentine’s Day smooch last week. Among the latest updates includes a poignant video montage celebrating cherished family memories and bidding a heartfelt farewell to her dear departed rescue beagle, Guy.
The duchess has also been utilising her account to create buzz around her forthcoming projects. Notably, the highly anticipated series “With Love, Meghan” is set to debut on Netflix on March 4, now merely a fortnight away.
